Ritter stop being an ignorant Yankee! The Migs have an exceptional record. The only problems have been when the airshow organisers have been stupid. The Migs themselves have a v.good record of not creaming in! Honestly everyone takes the Ukraine crash as gospel that all Soviet hardware is pants ::)

That's pretty darn sweet!  And man, I really feel out of the loop as I didn't realize they made a thrust vectored version of the -29!  How awesome is that!

wow ozzy didnt mean to strike a nerve - guess you missed the whole J/K part of my post.

Mig-29 and SU-27 are among my personal favorites - i was only making reference to the dozens on dozens of russian air show crash vids on the net out there. ::)

I dont think that particular a/c has thrust vectoring. What impresses me most is all of those manouvers are done without canards.

On the abrupt maneuvers toward the end pay special attention to the nozels.
